Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices whole grain bread
- 2 ounces fresh liverwurst
- 0.5 ripe avocado
- 1 handful baby spinach
- 0.5 tomato
- 2 slices red onion
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
Begin by toasting the two slices of whole grain bread until they are golden brown. This creates a sturdy base and adds a nice crunch to the sandwich.
While the bread is toasting, prepare the avocado. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add the lemon juice and mash with a fork until smooth. Season with a pinch of black pepper.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds and set aside.
Once the bread is toasted, spread the mashed avocado evenly on one slice as a healthy alternative to butter or mayonnaise.
Spread the Dijon mustard on the other slice of toasted bread. This will add a tangy flavor to the sandwich.
Lay the baby spinach leaves on top of the avocado spread. This not only adds nutrients but also provides a fresh crunch.
Place the liverwurst slices evenly over the spinach. For a thinner spread, consider using a slicing knife to create thinner pieces if needed.
Add the tomato and red onion slices on top of the liverwurst for additional flavor and texture.
Carefully assemble the sandwich by pressing the slice with the Dijon mustard down onto the ingredients. Press gently to ensure everything holds together.
Slice the sandwich in half and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
